Alumni beat Champagne 48-5 in the Argentine Top-12 on Friday evening. The home side made it look easy from the start, and by then the visitors had nothing left to show for themselves.
Alumni came in with mixed form recently — a heavy defeat to Newell's followed by wins against Sicar and Belgrano. Champagne, meanwhile, had lost their last three before this one, including a 41-21 hammering at Newell's own place.
The scoreline tells the story without needing commentary. Champagne failed to score in what must have been one of their quietest halves in recent memory. To be fair, their recent run suggests they've been struggling to find any rhythm at all.
Alumni move closer to making up ground in the standings after that result. Champagne's position doesn't improve, and at this stage the table still has plenty of room to shift before the season settles down.
